We Have Been Betrayed

WE HAVE BEEN BETRAYED,

EVERYBODY KNOWS THE

HUMAN SPIRIT

MUST BE BROKEN

TO MAKE US OPT INTO

A RANKING SYSTEM,  

 

ASSAIL OUR SELF ESTEEM,

TELL US WE'RE BORN MEAN,

FULL OF SIN AND IN NEED

OF REDEMPTION

REDUCE US TO

A NARROW VISION;

THEN FORCE US

TO ACCEPT THAT LIFE

MUST BE LIVED IN A

TIERED ENVIRONMENT,

WHERE THOSE MOST DIMINISHED

OF THE HUMANITY WE'RE ALL BORN WITH

HAVE ASSUMED THAT THEIR'S

IS ALL THE HIGHER GROUND,

AND SENT TENDRILS OUT

TO SEEK SOMETHING PRECIOUS,

TO MAKE UP FOR

WHAT'S LACKING

WITHIN,

TRUE HISTORY SHOWS THAT

CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY

CARRIED OUT BY DYNASTY

AND PEDIGREE,

THAT ALL TECHNO-ADVANCEMENT

THAT MAIM AND KILL,

THAT THE POPULATION

OF THIS PLANET

MUST TOLERATE

TINY CLUSTERS

OF THOSE OF US

WHO WOULD STILL BREAK

OUR CHILDREN'S WILL

AS A GENERATIONAL RULE,

HAVE HAD LITTLE TO DO

WITH OUR SPECIES'

ADVANCEMENT

TOWARDS THE

HUMAN WORLD,

EXCEPT TO REMIND US

OF OUR ANIMAL PAST,

HUMANS WILL SHARE

WITHOUT LIVING IN FEAR

OF BEING TARGETTED

BY THOSE OF US

WHO CAN'T HELP

BUT PRACTICE HATE

BECAUSE OUR WORLDS

GOT SO SMALL

WHEN WE WERE

TOLD THAT WE'RE ALL

BORN EVIL, UGLY, AND SINFUL...

BUT IF OUR SPIRIT

IS NOT BROKEN

WE'LL REBEL AGAINST

IMPOSED HIERARCHY

WE'LL FIGHT BACK

WHEN FACED WITH BULLIES,

THEN WE GET THE

WORLD THAT WE SEE

WHEN WE TURN

ON THE BLESSED TV,

WHERE STRAY DOG BRAINS

THAT SCRAPE AND DIG,

AND LEAVE THE EARTH

GLEANED OF ALL THAT LIVES,

START WARS FOR TERRITORY,

LAND, PLUNDER,

AND IDEOLOGY,

HISTORICALLY WE'VE

ORCHESTRATED FAMINE

ON A GLOBAL SCALE,

THE ELEMENT THAT

TEACHES HATE

HAS TAKEN TO

DENYING FOOD,

HEALING AND SAFETY,

FROM ANTI-HUMANITY

BULLIES, DIMINISHED OF

WHAT WE'RE ALL BORN WITH,

OR MAYBE I'M

ALL WRONG ABOUT IT,

AND SOME FOLKS KIDS

ARE JUST BORN ANIMAL WITH

AN INABILITY TO

EMBRACE HUMANITY

AND FORCED TO THINK THAT

WE'RE ALL STLLL IN THE CAVE

A RENAISSANCE OF

SEVEN BILLION

LOVING, BRAVE AND

FORWARD-THINKING,

HAS ALREADY BEGUN

EVERYWHERE WE LOOK,

HUMANS EMBRACING

EACH OTHER,

HIGH-FIVES, HUGS,

AND EVEN FIST BUMPS,

LITTLE SIGNS OF THE FUTURE

WORLD THAT KIDS WILL

BE BORN INTO

SOMEDAY,

WHERE BEING SCARED OF

STRANGERS WON'T EXIST

WHERE ANSWERING TO

ADULTS, OR ANYONE JUST

CUZ THEY'RE BIGGER

WILL BE DISCOURAGED

AS A RULE,

WHERE HUMAN

SENIORS,

KIDS AND THOSE

AMONG US

WOUNDED, SICK OR

SUFFERING FROM

DAMAGED DNA,

WE'LL FINALLY REALIZE

THAT WE'RE HERE TO

CIRCLE THE SPECIES'

AND MAKE SURE THAT

WE CAN ALL MOVE AHEAD

WITH SPIRITS STRONG

AND UNDAMAGED,

TO FEED AND HEAL

AND SHARE AND FEEL

AND MAYBE SOMEDAY

REALLY GIVE A DAMN,

HUMANITY SURE HELPS

US TO BE AWARE,

TO BE CONCERNED

AND REALLY CARE

TO FEEL COMPASSION

FOR THE INJURED,

MAYBE SOME OF US

ALREADY EMPATHIZE...
